Is it the Dinosaur Jr version of "Goin' Blind' by Kiss (Ithink?)
-
Compressor yes or no. If yes, which one?

Yes, TC Spectracomp. Tremendous. -

At a local-ish festival last summer. I haven't changed much! -
Plans for the MK1 cab are attached. Took me ages to find them originally, so I made sure I saved it! Hope that helps.

Few bits to shift, all prices include UK postage. Just bits from projects that never happened or have been upgraded and are now surplus to requirements. 2 x BBOT bridges. Standard Fender drill pattern, one has a slightly longer baseplate than the other. One is a Squier IIRC, the other is from a random Jazz body I bought off eBay. Both work as they should and have some very minor marks/wear as they have been used for a short period. £8 each. *Larger bridge now sold* 3 X pairs of cheapish Chinese P Bass control knobs (dome topped). One set is push-fit, the other two are set-screw type. Never used. The push fit ones seem slightly better quality than the others, but they're all perfectly fine. £4 per pair. Happy to supply more close-up photos at request.

What famous musicians death most shocked you
Johnny Wishbone replied to dmccombe7's topic in General Discussion
Chris Cornell, just because out of his contemporaries (Cobain, Vedder, Staley) he seemed the best equipped to handle the fame and adulation. He seemed to take it all in his stride and you'd think by the time he'd reached 40 he was 'out of the woods', so to speak. Whilst the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley hit me hard, they weren't exactly unexpected. It's a surprise Eddie Vedder is still going strong given how close to the edge he was early in Pearl Jam's career. -
Collecting Basses/Guitars as an investment

What about frozen concentrated orange juice? -
Bought a very nice Jazz bass body off Dave. Exactly as described with good despatch time and clear comms throughout. Cheers!

FWIW, I use a 4 string tuned Bb, EB, Ab, C# on some songs and my pair of these cabs don't struggle at all. They are quite bassy anyway.

£25 posted per set (1 neck, 1 bridge) and I've got 2 sets. Only been used for a month or so. Very loud and articulate, just a bit too modern sounding for me (these are the slightly more expensive neodymium versions). Couple of slight scuffs on the covers where the mounting screws have rubbed on the way in, but otherwise pretty much as new.

Glad they were finally able to get you on! I'll make sure I'm at the next one.

Incidentally I would add that I'm a dreadful carpenter and managed to build two of the MK1 cabs fairly easily after watching this. They really are excellent. I'm selling my Orange 4x10 as a result.

Plans are attached. Here's a video of Phil building the mk2 cab at a recent bass bash on a related thread:

Wasn't it a Boston song? Can't remember the title though.

noobie question on truss rod adjustment and new strings
Johnny Wishbone replied to lowdowner's topic in General Discussion
Usually but not always. Some strings have higher (or lower) tension than others for a given gauge, so you won't really know for sure until you make the change. Change the strings, tune to pitch and leave overnight/a few hours. Check the neck relief and adjust the truss rod if necessary. Normally a quarter-turn or so would be enough for such a minor change in string gauge. YMMV of course.
